Love At Work
For these dynamic duos, love and work aren't just compatible-they're the freakin' jackpot, man.
1. Soulmates: Sarah and Paolo of Turbo Goth
Sarah and Paolo make beautiful music together through their band Turbo Goth. "We just get along so well. We like the same things, and we share the same taste in music and art. We can't stand to be apart."
Love Story: The two met some three years ago at a fine dining restaurant where Paolo worked as a Sous Chef and Sarah, a graduating fine arts student in UST at the time, decided to dine one fine day. It was love at first sight for both - Sarah says he was tall and skinny just like her drawings and for Paolo, he felt "tingly inside" when he saw her and her purple hair. "She was my Ramona Flowers," says Paolo.
Making Lovely Music: The couple reveals that they love going to gigs (either to play or to just listen) and making music, while at home, they are pretty much laid-back, loving nothing better than to snuggle up to a good TV series on DVD, like The Office, Parks and Recreation, and Party Down, while eating chips and drinking iced tea.
2-In-One: "We become sad when we're not together and, from many experiences, we get extreme bad luck when we're separated!" One time, the couple shares, the passenger door and window were accidentally smashed by a truck when Paolo went to get his license while Sarah stayed home.
On making work and play work: "It's not hard (for us). We think it's easier working with your significant other because you're more understanding [with] each other and [have] greater respect for each other's decisions. It's not really hard to separate personal and professional as most of the work we do is personal art. It's when other people get involved that our work becomes professional."
Dirty little secret according to their significant other: Souarah's pet peeve according to Paolo: Food critics
Paolo's comfort food: Adobo with lots of rice.
2. A 24/7 Thing: AJ AND Audrey of Googoo&Gaga;
When copreneur (couple-entrepreneur) AJ and Audrey Dimarucot gave birth to their first child, an idea for a creative venture was also born. Combining the mad creativity of AJ, an award-winning graphic designer with projects here and abroad, and the sharp business sense of Audrey, they came up with googoo&gaga;, a children's clothing line whose fresh, funky designs veer away from your typical, cutesy baby pinks and blues. "Without Audrey," AJ reveals, "I don't think I'd get anything done!"
The Set Up: Audrey and AJ were set up by a common friend-who wanted to set AJ up with two girls on the same night! So the pimp-er, I mean, friend-brought along AJ and fetched Audrey first to go out for drinks at a bar. "I was shocked at how pretty she was. She was towering outside her building, and I thought to myself that she had to be a model of some sort!" remembers AJ of that unabashedly kilig moment. The group eventually met the other girl, but for AJ, there wasn't even a choice, really, because he was already mesmerized by Audrey from the moment he saw her.
Dinner for Two: The first date was in Aposento, where they had drinks and talked all night. The couple also shares that they are adventurous with food (hence the love handles, they joked). "We love eating steak! This started when Audrey was pregnant and seemed to crave steak all the time. I easily obliged. We tried Mamou, Myron's, and Duo. We love 'em all but Duo in Serendra has become our favorite resto/hangout until now," says AJ.
On making work and play work: "It's pretty hard. Our lives are intertwined with our business. We decided to pursue this so we could spend more time with our family, but that also means that work doesn't end at 6pm on a weekday. It's literally a 24/7 thing. But it's cool because we can go out and watch a movie, or eat out whenever we want, come back home and put in an hour or two of actual work."
Dirty little secret according to their significant other: First thing AJ does in the morning: Check his mobile phone and email. Movie Audrey like but won't admit: The movie with Sam Milby and Toni Gonzaga.
3. Two Peas in a Pod: Ryan and Garovs of EverywhereWeShoot
Ryan and Garovs are the duo behind EverywhereWeShoot, that creative outfit that packages photography, styling, and graphic design into one awesome output. Given their creative leanings, it was a natural direction for the couple to take.
Meet Cute: One lunch-break in 2003, in between classes at their alma mater, College of St. Benilde, Ryan saw Garovs and says it was love at first sight. "Sino siya? Kamukha siya ni Barbie Almalbis! Mukhang dyosa ng '80s!" Ryan told his friend. As luck would have it, the friend knew Garovs and called out teasing, "Garovs! Garovs! May papakilala ako sayo! Si Ryan! Ano daw Friendster, YM, at Multiply mo?!" A shy Ryan grabbed his friend, ran, and rode an FX on impulse. Garovs only caught a glimse: "Naka-mohawk, mod jacket, and dirty vans, so cool (laughs)!" After the incident, they started texting, chatting, and going out, before finally discovering they were like two peas in a pod.
Date Night: This couple considers sitting around Bonifacio High St., watching people, going around Fullybooked, and being in traffic as a typical work-day. They also like to dine out and are avid fans of XO Kitchen in Jupiter, Mang Inasal, BBQ Chicken in Jupiter, Donu in Polaris, and Chelsea Serendra. "We love to overreact on its goodness!" laughs the two.
On making work and play work: "If Garovs wants to do something that I don't [want to do] for our project, we argue about it. We argue for hours," shares Ryan. "But after that, we end up combining both our concepts and it turns out even better than the idea we thought up individually. At first mahirap, but now we're used to it! After our 4th, 5th, 6th year.sanay na! Sanay na kami mag-away! (laughs)"
Dirty little secret according to their significant other: Garovs's signature karaoke song: It's All coming Back To Me by Celine Dion. Ryan's pet peeve: Over-photoshopped photos.

How did MAD mag. know in advance that Bush would be president when they modeled Alfred E Neuman after him?
It seems such a waste of their 'gifts' of reading the future, to do nothing with it than make comic magazines.
